Before the Fitch fight, in an interview, Paulo mentioned that they had watched footage of Koscheck and noticed he made some mistakes and worked in a combo around that. Kos got KOd. Next he fights Fitch, catches Fitch, but Fitch stays conscious and switches to straight wrestling. Next he fights Swick, and again catches Swick with a counter, and finishes him on the ground.
Same guy fights 3 guys from the same team, and the only guy to do remotely well against him at all used wrestling throughout most of the fight.
I would have expected they would have done something to tune up Fitch's game, but perhaps the interview came out too late, but there's really not much excuse for not fixing that hole with Swick.
I dont know if its so much as sloppy striking.
Probably has more to do with the fact that Thiago is just really fucking good.
it's more of the UFC AKA guys not the AKA itself
Well of course Paulo Thiago's really good, but he commented that he was looking for those holes.
And why would it just be AKA guys fighting in the UFC? I'd think they'd be the top guys coming out of that camp, not the only ones making mistakes.
What about the bottom line on Kos?
And, I most certainly will doubt Bob Cook for more than a second, there's already the conflict of interest he's got with being their manager too.
The overhand right from 7-8 o'clock is a bit played out and needs to be retired....
I had my doubts about Paulo but he seems to be a legit guy. I want to see him fight Diego soon.
Bottom line is, don't fucking be spreading boooooshieeeet and being a cock fagget chicken against Paulo.
Wallid doesn't stand for any of that booosheeeet, and Paulo will not either, undastan?
